11 months

 11 months old. Wow is time flying by.

 Miss EJ, you are getting so big, so quick. You are a ham, and so funny. A loud little beast, all the time, whether happy or sad. You are certainly full of personality.

 Monthly pictures are certainly a challenge now. There is no keeping you still.

 A few outtakes. You just want to be on the move all the time now.

 Your new favourite game is peek a boo. It's hilarious to see you play it with us. You get so excited. You love all sorts of blankets and I think you will be a blankie girl. Which is fine. But no blankets are safe near you. You love wrapping yourself up in them and rolling around with them.

 You are now a standing machine. Wherever you can get yourself up to, you do. You throughly love it in the tub and have quite the proud look on your face. You have gotten graceful with falling back when you let go, you just don't have the strength or balance to keep yourself upright yet, but I'm sure soon. And you have been getting on hands and knees like you might crawl soon, but you usually right yourself and bum shuffle away.

 Those little feet of yours, man, I feel like they are never going to grow. Those slippers are ones I made for Audra, and she didn't wear them long. You have been in them forever. Other slippers and shoes that we bought still don't fit. I am hoping we find something that fits come winter time. lol

Ahh, the walker. Our new favourite baby item. We never had one for your sister, as she wasn't into absolutely everything the way you are. But this wonderful invention helps to keep you somewhat contained and not able to get into everything. You have gotten so much better in it. You fred flintstone it all over the place now.Those little feet moving you around the main floor now. It's awesome to see you in it and able to get around. The base is a little wide and you crash into things constantly, but you have figured out how to backup and swing around to get to where you want to go.

Month 11 and you still spend your nights in the swing. Naps are in the crib so maybe one of these days you will sleep through the night there too. lol. It's just so nice to get a full nights sleep out of you. You are not a child who loves sleep. Your sister was a sleeper, you are the complete opposite. Things have only been a bit quieter since your sister started school. You are loud all the time little girl. We have fun though, run errands and lots of playing without anyone taking toys from you. You are so happy to see Audra when we go pick her up from school. And Audra is so excited to see you too. She wants nothing more then for you two to play, and I hope that time will be soon.

You went to daycare for two days last week and had fun and were a good girl, yay! I guess it was just Laura and Kristen, so the three of you had fun. And Laura was all excited to help. Awww, so cute. Mom was excited to have two days off and got quite a bit done. I am just happy that you were good, didn't cry and scream and were happy to see me at the end of it all. Audra adjusted well and I am glad that you are too. Kristen is awesome and we are so lucky to have her.

Well my baby girl, our time is pretty much up. It will be a whole different ball game in less then a couple of weeks. It's been a long year, but of course I wouldn't have traded it for anything. We aren't having a huge party for you, but will celebrate over thanksgiving with family. As long as there is pretty paper to destroy, you won't care what's in the birthday packages. lol.
We love you lots our little screamin' mimi!
